Quick start

1. Register your resolver
   This stores your resolver information in the central registry offered by the OpenURL Router. When you do this, any service provider is able to provide links to your resolver without contacting you for other information. If you change your resolver URL for any reason (software updates, firewall/proxy server changes, domain name changes, switching port numbers, etc.) you will then only have to alter the configuration at the OpenURL Router.
2. Configure OpenURL links
   Though any service provider is able to link to any registered resolver, some service providers do not yet offer this facility. For these providers you will have to configure links - but this only needs to be done once. Any future changes to your resolver need to be notified only to the OpenURL Router, and will have immediate effect for all your services.
